Nothing is purely "arbitrary". Who do you think are the four best teams this year? Do you really think your list is going to vary much from the norm?
As of today Alabama, Clemson and Washington are going to be on almost every list. Most people will have Ohio State on their list.
Why should we hand Wisconsin a shot at a national title if they win tomorrow? Just because they had the good fortunate of playing in a division with Minnesota?
Michigan State and Iowa played for the Big Ten title last year. They both went out and completely crapped the bed in their "bowl" games. They lost by a combined score of 83-16. Neither one deserved to be in the college football playoff. And I don't care how many games they won in the Big Ten last year or who they beat in that league. They didn't belong.
Wisconsin will have beaten the winner of the other division, and they played at Michigan and list by a TD on a bomb, and lost in OT to Oh St Ater controlling the game (much like Michigan). They also beat LSU and an Iowa team on the road, a team that beat Michigan. They had an incredibly tough schedule. Not going to matter though, because Washington and Clemson are going to win. Washington is going to lose by 100 points against bama.
